R for Rabbit Hug Me – The Ergonomic Baby Carrier

• For those who don’t know, Ergonomic Baby carrier means a carrier that provides proper support to baby’s neck, head, spine, and hips. It’s very important to choose a carrier which mainly takes care of the baby’s hips. Because if you won’t buy an ergonomic carrier, your baby could suffer from hips dyslexia.

• R for Rabbit’s baby carrier can be used to carry babies weighing around 6-18 Kgs, who are 6 to 24 months old.

• You could use this carrier as a front-face-in carrier, front-face-out carrier and as a back carrier too. This means all three basic, baby carrying postures is possible via this carrier. However, experts tell us that it is advisable to use a carrier, preferably in front-face-in mode. As this way, your baby could feel more loved and protected.

• It has got two straps, one for the shoulder and another one for the waist. Also, you need to worry if you think that, your broad waist size won’t let the carrier fit you, as its waist belt is adjustable. The shoulder strap is also wide enough to distribute the weight of the baby, evenly.

• The main body of the carrier is light green in color. This makes it preferable for summers too as with light colored carriers; the baby won’t feel hot easily. As light colors act as heat insulators.

• It is said to be made of cotton fabric, it has even got little storage pockets to keep things that your baby may need from time to time.

Cuddlebug Mei Tai Baby Carrier with Hood

• Mei Tai is a sling type of baby carrier. In a good baby carrier, the legs of a baby would not be hanging vertically straight, this means their knees must look bent. As with bent knees, your baby won’t get hips dyslexia. But in many product shots of baby carriers, you will see that the knees of a baby are purposely shown bent. Hence, we have not included any such carrier where its model is knowingly holding baby’s sole or feet just to show that he is bending his knees.

• Hence, our first basis of criteria is to see that the baby’s legs are wide apart. In such a way that their legs look like legs of a frog when they are placed inside the carrier.

• From the word ‘Mei Tai’ you must have guessed by now that it is a type of baby carrier, which is being used since ancient times. It first originated in China and now it is used worldwide.

• The factor which has made Mei Tai type baby carrier so popular is that, unlike other baby carriers, in Mei Tai, there are no buckles, rings, metals etc. to take care of. This makes it an all-fabric baby carrier.

• Even this Carrier is made out of soft fabric, that is washable and which can be used to carry babies from 5 pounds to 36 pounds.

Nimblehouse Hipseat Infant Carrier

• See this; how the model has kept her hands. With such a pose, she is trying to tell that the baby, himself has kept his legs like that of a frog. With such a leg position, the baby puts pressure of his weight on his knee joints instead of hips joints and that’s what prevents hips dyslexia.

• This Baby Carrier by Nimblehouse has 6 in 1 uses. Means it can be used for six carrying positions. It is made up of soft cotton cloth and has a 3-D mesh fabric for the main body. This 3-D effect leaves an impression that it is padded.

Ven Ting Baby Carrier

MoM Classic Baby Carrier

This condition can be fulfilled by Mom Classic Baby Carrier. Yes, the buckles and straps are adjustable but remember that your baby should be able to hold you like a koala hangs onto a tree.

• Hence don’t make the carrier’s pocket stiff for your baby, by fastening the buckles more than needed as he should feel as free inside the carrier not packed. His body should stick to you, not tightly though and he should be able to move his head without much effort.

• With the combination of natural cotton and mesh cooling vent, babies feel less irritant also they won’t get all sweaty during summers. Since your baby is going to rest his head on you, make sure that you also wear a cotton dress, so that your baby’s cheeks feel relaxed on it.

• The shoulder straps provided are pretty wide, you can see this even in the picture above. Hence with this chance of getting shoulder injury gets reduced to a great extent. Even the waist strap width is big.

• This carrier can be used for babies who are more than 6 months old. If your baby weighs more than 45 lbs that can prove to be problematic for you as the Carrier’s maximum weight capacity is up to 45 lbs only.

• The hip seat serves as a lumbar support; head hood protects from sun rays and from chilly wind during winter and the zipper pocket provides space for storage of babies handkerchief, bibs, baby wipes etc. All these have been provided in this baby carrier as an add-on feature.

Boba Baby Carrier

• One thing to notice about this carrier’s fabric is that the dyes used for coloring this it are natural.

• Boba’s foxen baby carrier can be used in 4 ways. This means you could carry your baby for 4 carrying positions. The two most common baby carrying position is front-face-in and backpack position.

• For front-face-in babies weighing around 7 to 25 pounds can be kept. For back position babies weighing around 25 to 45 pounds can be kept. Since parents prefer keeping their babies in the front-face-in position most of the times, hence we are assuming that the maximum weight limit for using this carrier, to be 25 pounds.

• Remember you can’t use it for the front-face-out position, like a doe (female kangaroo) keeps her joey (baby kangaroo) inside her pocket. That position is not possible with this baby carrier.
